[libreoffice-marketing] changes for this mailing list

2011-05-25 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello everyone,

as part of our membership process, we also would like to give 
@libreoffice.org e-mail forwarders to our approved members. Thanks to 
the folks from Heinlein Support in Berlin, who offered to take care of 
the mail forwarding and to program a web tool to enable users to 
configure the forwarding!


In order to be able to use two different mail servers -- one for mailing 
lists, and one for the mail forwarders -- we have to change the 
addresses of a few mailing lists.


In a nutshell: All lists currently known as @libreoffice.org will in the 
future be known as @global.libreoffice.org


In detail:

accessibil...@libreoffice.org = accessibil...@global.libreoffice.org

des...@libreoffice.org = des...@global.libreoffice.org

documentat...@libreoffice.org = documentat...@global.libreoffice.org

l...@libreoffice.org = l...@global.libreoffice.org

marketing@libreoffice.org = market...@global.libreoffice.org

proje...@libreoffice.org = proje...@global.libreoffice.org

us...@libreoffice.org = us...@global.libreoffice.org

webs...@libreoffice.org = webs...@global.libreoffice.org

You do *not* have to un- or resubscribe from any lists, as the list of 
all recipients will be automatically transferred to the new addresses. 
The subject prefix, like [libreoffice-website], will also stay the 
*same*. What *will* change is the address you have to send e-mails to, 
and the headers like List-Post and List-ID. So, in case you filter your 
e-mails based on the headers, you *do* need to act. This is most likely 
the case if you use a local mail client like Thunderbird. Webmail 
services like Google Mail usually do *not* make use of these headers.


The change will be effective during the day of

Thursday, June 9th

I will send a follow-up e-mail when the addresses have changed. 
Immediately after that, assume the old addresses will stop working. I 
will try to set them as aliases for a few days, but I cannot guarantee 
it will work out.


However, *no* e-mail will be lost -- in case there is no alias in place, 
you will receive a bounce message and can re-send the mail again.


Sorry for these inconveniences, but they will help us in providing 
e-mail forwarders for our members.


In case of questions, feel free to ask me directly, or on the website@ 
mailing list.

Hi,

webmaster for Kracked Press Productions wrote on 2011-05-25 13.45:


are you saying that we now will need to change the sending address to this?


yes.


So if we are sending a new email to the marketing, or users, lists, we
will have to add the global. the the address?


Exactly.


But addresses like market...@us.libreoffice.org will by unchanged?


Correct. Any list that already has a subdomain, like 
@us.libreoffice.org, @de.libreoffice.org and so on will be *unchanged*. 
The same is true for lists at @documentfoundation.org - it solely 
affects @libreoffice.org



so we have to do the changeover that day, and not before or after that
date?


Exactly. Not before that day. Chances are, I keep an alias for a while, 
but in case that's technically not possible, you will receive a bounce 
on the old address, as soon as the change is effective.

At a guess using Reply to emails sent from the list will send to the right
place unless you carefully time it exactly wrong;)


yes and no. :) For new mails after the 9th, yes. For old mails, there 
will still be the old reply-to address, so that might bounce later on.
